Oxalyl chloride → HCID 86717885, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4 drops of DMF were added to 2.0 g of 8-[(2,6-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (6.28 mmol, 1 equivalent) in 25 ml of dry THF, followed by the dropwise addition of 3.19 g of oxalyl chloride (25.14 mmol, 4 equivalents). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 3 h. Another 0.80 g of oxalyl chloride (6.28 mmol, 1 equivalent) were added, and the reaction was stirred at RT for a further 4 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and co-evaporated with toluene three times, and the residue was dried under high vacuum. This gave 2.43 g of the title compound (103% of theory).
